Previous Scholarship Winner

"I am so excited to be a recipient of the Study.com Public Administration scholarship! Two years ago, I established a
non-profit organization, L.O.V.E. Works International {Leading. Organized. Volunteer. Efforts.}. Our mission is to break the
cycle of poverty, empower lives and improve communities by establishing sustainable works and initiatives for indigent
populations. Winning this scholarship will provide much needed financial support to complete my master's degree, the missing
ingredient for doing greater works for the poor and vulnerable. Thank you so much Study.com, for all that you do to help
students like me live out their dreams!"
